I don't know how you can say that. We passed the Turing test within the past year, and nobody even noticed because that now seems like such a low bar for where we'll be in a few years.

ML is an important component of AI, but it's not a simple "rebrand". I get that it's easy to think of it as marketing hype, because there's a lot of people (the same people who got on the blockchain bandwagon) shilling crap. But what we're seeing isn't overhyped; it's severely underhyped.

Easy: Remember OpenAIs claims regarding the bar exam and did you read the news the last couple of days how it was all bollocks?

Great... it's another hype. It's "just" statistics, very impressive, but as soon as it will run out of training data, it will plateau... and it will run out by GPT-5 or GPT-6 :)

Then it can learn from its predecessor's hallucinations maybe :D

Let's agree to disagree here

I don't know if passing the turing test is really that much of an accomplishment. Some would argue we create software that passed the turing test when Eliza was made, which was developed in the 60s. I mean, Eliza really kind of shows that the turing test isn't actually much of a test. Your testing more of how easy it is to fool a person and exactly how intelligent or smart an artificial system is.

Agreed, which is why the next part of my sentence went on to say "nobody even noticed because that now seems like such a low bar for where we'll be in a few years"

I don't believe transformers will keep "AI" afloat for many years to come. There must be another technology for General Artificial Intelligence
